Although it is now a brewery it started as a roundhouse for trains. Another piece of Toronto Heritage saved. There are also occasional art shows and concerts. Enjoy! More

The beer was lavish and yummy (as much as you wanted). The tour was interesting, informative and fun (pull the steam whistle, watch the bottles going around). Tickets included a well packed gift to take home (glasses or openers). More

I would love to be able to host a specialized event here as the setting would be great. This pilsner is refreshing even on a winter day. I was so happy last week to find a restraunt in Edmonton last week carrying Steam Whistle! More

Having visited breweries all over the world, I felt there was no need to do a tour.

And a pilsner at that, which means it's pretty much the... More

I am not a beer drinker (in fact I generally hate beer) but when this tour started off by having... More
